The helicopter landed in the street in front of the television station and Mercedes stepped out. Ocho waved as it lifted off, leaving her standing there with her hair and skirt blowing wildly, clutching the videotape.

El Ocho, alive and well! It seemed like a miracle. Truly, she had thought he was dead, lost at sea.

“I have seen the tape,” Ocho had shouted over the noise of the helicopter as they rode above the lights of Havana. “Fidel wanted Hector to lead Cuba. His opinion will sway many people.”

Yes, she nodded, fighting back tears.

“Why did you give the tape to the Americans?”

“Vargas would have taken it from me,” she replied.

Ocho accepted that because he knew it was true. That tape would destroy Alejo Vargas.

“Make them show it on television,” Ocho had shouted. “We will get Hector out of prison.” He grinned broadly, showing all his teeth. The future was arriving all at once.

She watched the helicopter disappear into the night sky, then turned and walked into the television station.
